Too bad about your insurance, but it seems like lots of people go to Mexico for the surgery. I'm eating sugar free popsicles, too. Anything that will help.

My surgery is scheduled for January 3 in Mexico. I’m on day 5 of the liquid diet. My clinic had me do a 5 day colon cleanse. The natural herbs used made me feel full.

Tomorrow will be the test being around family and all the food.

Jan 3rd for me. I’m on my 6th day of liquid diet. Allowed 4 shakes, 2 bars, 1 banana, and up to 3 servings of sugar free Jello. For Christmas Day, I was allowed to have 4 oz of turkey (no gravy) and 1oz of green Beans if I wanted it. I did eat it, but now my stomach is making a lot of crazy noises!
Thankfully I’m not hungry at all on the liquid diet. I don’t think I’ve lost a single pound on it though.

Thank you for your prayers. Blessed Herbs - ginger colon cleanse and Trinity Medical. Christmas wasn’t too bad. I was able to use putting my toddlers to sleep and missed all the action. I ended having to tell my sister on Christmas Eve because she kept pushing food. (She’s hosting all the activities at her house).

Whose your doctor? How did Christmas go?

hi niceross. It took a few days for my weight to start dropping but I noticed it in other ways first. How do your clothes feel on you? I moved up my drivers side seat closer to the steering wheel. Friends of mine did a double take when they saw me. Have you weighed yourself recently? I do think you're losing weight but I think it starts internally. I wish you a lot of luck and when you start to see it on the scale, you will be pleasantly surprised.

My surgery is also January 03 I’m getting my mind ready for the new Journey and outcome. I have been overweight all my life and it’s time for a change. I have been in my feeling of the liquid diet. And I don’t that I have lost any weight myself.

2018 is our year!! We can do it!

I'm looking forward to less joint pain and getting my face back, and lots of other things, of course.

For the people not hungry on the liquid diet, good for you! I am less hungry as days go by. I'm back to work tomorrow, and wish I could stay home, but at least it will be a less intense week than usual.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
